I do feel like I'm breaking all the rules.. plus I think we have passed over into older age category. 😟
When we discovered we would not be hosting a dinner for Thanksgiving, we just gave in.. I mean, make that huge mess for just the two of us! SO the other day while we were breakfasting at the Roanoker we walked right over to the take out window and ordered our Thanksgiving dinner as take out for next week.. so here is where I am crossing the line of major rules! We still had our Halloween decor up, well, it wasn't much.. just a candelabra with orange flowers draping it and and a couple of black cats on the dining table.. It actualy looked sort of cute... but today, when I put it all away and started planning a Thanksgiving table, I thought, Why? To eat food out of a paper bag! So that idea when bye, bye, so now I'm gladly looking at a bare table with visions of Christmas ideas swirling like snowflakes around in my head! Problem is I feel my mother and grandmothers scowling down at me from on high. I mean we've got it so much easier when it comes to celebrating and feeding hoards of family and killing the fatted goose, with your bare hands, etc.. and here I am so lazy I am skipping right over Thanksgiving decorating and moving on... well, I did send out Thanksgiving cards and I have been counting my blessings! Is it so bad that I dont want to decorate the table for a Thanksgiving spread I will never lay! so I am breaking rules, and hoping it doesnt come back to bite Me!
Schotzy,
ReplyDeleteOK, The traditional Thanksgiving feast is out this year. Enjoy yourself with your take out pork tenderloin Thanksgiving dinner while allocating the saved energy not used for cooking to planning your Christmas decorating. Please help hubby to find the boxes of Christmas decorations.
Love your post, hope to see you at the Roanoker next week.
OK
ReplyDeleteYour house your rules!! :)
ReplyDeleteI say decorate for Christmas! This year has brought so much stuff to our lives, no one will care if you have Christmas stuff up 2 weeks early. We've been putting up lights inside and out and they're so cheery!
I think it is okay to break the rules sometimes. You can enjoy your meal and watch Christmas movies. Only my daughter is coming this year with 2 of my grands. I have taken down my harvest in the family room and hubby brought in the main tree. I am doing a "pink" Christmas in my craft area along with the other women in my craft group. Wasn't sure I was going to like it but I do. Have fun decorating for Christmas!
ReplyDeletesometimes you have to break the rules to fit what life hand's out. This year seems to have a lot of need for broken rules. Enjoy decorating for Christmas,.
